Spring Roll Bar

Serves: 6-8 // Time: 30 min

PAIR WITH: Hospitality Collection Chardonnay

Ingredients

-16 Rice paper sheets / spring roll wrappers

-1 cucumber, peeled & julienned (sliced into short, thin strips)

-2 carrots, julienned

-6 radishes, thinly sliced

-2 cups purple cabbage, thinly sliced

-1 head butter lettuce

-1 cup sugar snap peas

-1 red bell pepper, julienned

-1 avocado, thinly sliced

-1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

-1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves

-1/2 cup fresh green onions

-Peanut sauce

-Sweet pepper sauce

-Soyaki sauce

Directions

1. Lay all sliced vegetables & herbs on large cutting board or serving platter, with sauces in small bowls.
2. Fill a large circular plate with water, and lay a damp cheesecloth over a cutting board, tucking the cloth under the board so that the cloth is tight across the top. To begin to assemble rolls, dip each rice paper sheet in the water for about 8 seconds, and then lay on the damp cloth. Build each roll with any combination of the vegetables & herbs, making a pile in the center of the roll, leaving about 2-3 inches of open paper around the fillings. To roll, fold one side over the pile of toppings, and tuck under the toppings pile. Fold both sides of the sheet over the toppings, and then slowly roll mass of fillings to seal with last side. The rice paper should be sticky & somewhat stretchy, which should allow you to achieve a tight seal.

Lavender Mascarpone Lemon Bars

Serves: 12 // Time: 1 hr, 45 minutes

PAIR WITH: Celebration Brut

Crust Ingredients

-3 sticks unsalted butter, melted

-1 1/2 cup flour

-1 1/2 cup granulated sugar

-1 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

-1 tsp salt

Filling Ingredients

-6 eggs

-1 tbsp. vanilla extract

-1 cup fresh lemon juice

-2 tbsp. lemon zest

-3 cups granulated sugar

-1/2 cup flour

Lavender Mascarpone Ingredients

-24 oz. mascarpone cheese

-4 oz. salted butter

-2 tbsp. dried lavender

-1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Crust Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a half sheet pan (standard cookie sheet) with parchment paper.
2. Combine melted butter, flour, granulated sugar, graham cracker crumbs and salt in a bowl and combine until it has a crumbly consistency (similar to wet sand). Spread evenly across the sheet pan, using a measuring cup to create a smooth & even layer. Bake in oven for 20 minutes until light golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool.

Filling Directions

1. Whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice & zest in a mixing bowl. Slowly mix the sugar next, and finish with the flour. Whisk together until combined. This order of mixing ingredients avoids lumps forming in the filling. 
2. Pour filling over the crust in an even layer. Bake in oven for 30 minutes, until filling is firm.

Lavender Mascarpone Directions

1. Melt butter in a small saucepan and add in dried lavender. Remove from heat and let sit for 30 minutes. Strain lavender from butter using a fine mesh strainer. Set butter aside.
2. Place mascarpone cheese and lavender infused butter in a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and mix until smooth. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add in the powdered sugar in small increments, and mix until smooth.
3. Cut the lemon bars into squares and spread lavender mascarpone over the surface of each.
